Confidence Analysis

Score: 89/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 70m, avg 86m) for 142 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.3 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and STI FULHAM) maintained close proximity (min 317m, avg 323m) for 210 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and STI FULHAM) maintained close proximity (min 316m, avg 323m) for 366 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and STI FULHAM) maintained close proximity (min 316m, avg 324m) for 390 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 70m, avg 72m) for 390 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and STI FULHAM) maintained close proximity (min 316m, avg 324m) for 378 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 80/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and STI FULHAM) maintained close proximity (min 316m, avg 324m) for 384 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

Confidence Analysis

Score: 95/100

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (TWINKLE STAR and YANBU) maintained close proximity (min 55m, avg 67m) for 243 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 56m, avg 64m) for 385 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area.

        "summary": "High-confidence STS candidate. Two tankers (YANBU and TWINKLE STAR) maintained close proximity (min 56m, avg 63m) for 391 minutes. Both vessels were slow-moving (avg speeds 0.0 and 0.0 knots). The stable separation distance suggests deliberate parallel positioning typical of cargo transfer. Event occurred in Northern Baltic Sea Surveillance Zone, a known STS activity area."
